BOI Reporting — Beneficial Ownership Information
The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) requires most LLCs, corporations, and similar entities to report their beneficial owners to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). This is a federal requirement that took effect in 2024 — and non-compliance carries significant penalties.
Who must file: Most LLCs, C-Corps, S-Corps, and similar entities
Deadline: Within 90 days of formation for new entities; ongoing for changes
Information required: Beneficial owner names, birthdates, addresses, ID numbers
Penalties: Up to $500 per day for willful non-compliance
We Handle BOI Reporting For You
Don't navigate FinCEN's BOI reporting portal alone. We prepare and file your beneficial ownership report as part of our business formation package — or as a standalone service for existing businesses.
We identify all beneficial owners and gather required information
We prepare and file the FinCEN BOI report electronically
We track deadlines and re-file when ownership changes
One flat fee — no surprise costs
New York LLC Publication Requirement
Most newly formed New York LLCs must publish a notice of formation in two designated newspapers for six consecutive weeks. This is one of the most commonly missed post-formation requirements — and failure to comply can result in your LLC's authority being revoked by New York.
What You Need to Know
- Required for: Most NY LLCs formed after the publication rule took effect
- Newspapers: One daily and one weekly designated by the county clerk
- Duration: 6 consecutive weeks of publication
- Cost: Typically $500–$2,000+ depending on newspaper circulation
- Deadline: Within 120 days of LLC formation
- Failure to comply: NY DOS may revoke your LLC's authority to do business
